ABSTRACT
In Palestine today, students and teachers’ mobility is severely restricted by checkpoints, roadblocks, and gated passages which are manned by heavily-armed Israeli soldiers and sometimes guarded with tanks. Due to these travel restrictions between and within Palestinian cities, journeys of short distances often stretch into hours and have adversely affected the education of Palestinian citizens. It has been reported that, “just as their parents have trouble getting to their workplaces, children and young adults are frequently denied their right to education. They are forced to take dangerous routes to their schools and universities. Hundreds of students have been detained, shot or injured on their way to school. In addition, Israeli forces sometimes order schools to be temporarily closed – occasionally these closures have lasted for a year or longer” (If Americans Knew Website, 2013, p. 2). The report clearly indicates how Israeli occupation has denied the Palestinian people their right and access to education.
